congratulations, jennifer. you're in onederland and you've learned where to stop to feel satisfied. plus--you lost weight!!

kathy, thank you for the update on your mom. sounds like she's doing well. maybe being back at work will be good for you. i think our routines are very helpful in times of stress. at the least it's helping you stay out of an eating binge.

vickie, i'm going to the ear specialist in a few minutes. i am really really feeling the need for w a group classes. i'm in withdrawal. doing it by myself isn't quite the same. i am sending you wishes for cassie's improvement. i understand stress eating.

kathy and vickie, i'm sending you : : : to help you with stress eating.

i'll be back later, girls. have a good day.

Hello everyone, hope today is a good day for you. Its sunny and about 70 here - just got back from a 40 minute walk and now sitting down to lunch. I'm not letting my gain this week deter me - I stuck to plan last night - did not cheat at all. I'm proud of me The scale was down from yesterday, so I am certain the gain was water. Its not the TOM, but who knows..

Kathy, I hope your mom continues to improve.

Melissa, sorry to hear about your husbands Gransmother. Your in my thoughts.

I'll stop back later.

Hi chickies,

Jennifer - congrats on your great loss this week - sounds like you have everything under control.

Paula - good for you for staying on track! I'm sure you will have great results at next WI.

Vickie - I am sure with you loving care and medical treatment Cassie will live a very full and long life. Hope you had your bubble bath and were able to relax a bit and destress.

Kathy - what good news about your Mom - altho I'm sure it was also very stressful for you and your family (My mom looked awful after and had to stay in ICU extra long cuz she wasn't doing very well!). Hope you can find some time to relax as well.

Sandra - are there no more wa classes you can go to? I know it's not the same when you do it alone. Let us know what the dr says!

Melissa - my condolences to you and Aaron on the loss of his grandmother. I guess the birthday celebration is on hold for a while?

I am at work but piddling around cuz I am so tired and unfocussed! Had the hardest time falling asleep again so getting up was no better....and with it being such a rainy, gloomy gray day all you want to do is stay in bed!

Best news is remember that paycheque (and other monies) that went astray back in March (yes 7 long months ago?) - well I finally got a call today to go pick up my CHEQUE!!!! yippee - I think the fact that I finally contacted our dept. ombudsman helped and he got things moving - I must send him a thank you email right now!

Also had a lunch out today (mexican) for colleague who is taking a year off! Lucky dog. I had the veggie burrito w/potatoes and steamed veggies - it was just okay. I am now craving something sweet! YIKES!

I do have lots of LO froufie roast for dinner so that's good (and some for lunch tomorrow?). Need to get a couple lbs off before dr visit next week (I am up about 2 lbs since last visit so need to work on this by the 10th! when I go for my bp check). Also fasting on Monday (Yom kippur) and need to remember not to go crazy when it's over!

Might leave work early - and go home and nap. Dh out rehearsing tonight for a gig tomorrow night - and I got ex to pick dd up from dance tonight at 9:15 pm which means I don't have to drag little ds out in the rain and can put him to bed at a reasonable time (and then relax myself!).

Supposed to rain all weekend - UGH!

i am home for lunch but am going back to the doctor in about 30 minutes for a procedure. this is good news. this procedure is painless (i think it's a headshaker thingee) and will remove a calcium stone that's in my ear canal. i should be cured of dizziness. why didn't i do this 4 months ago when the dizziness began?

frouf, i'm glad you're getting your checque. that's great news. the women's club does have w a classes at different times during the day. i have just been busy during those times or not able to go cuz of dizziness. speaking of which, i won't be able to even bend over to tie my shoes for a couple of days nor will i be able to lie down. i'll be sleeping on the recliner tonight and maybe tomorrow night. but--i will get an end to this dizziness. life is good.

paula, just keep on keepin on. that weight is already melting. i'm happy for you.

Sandra, my dad gets those stones knocked loose in his ear sometimes. That causes extreme dizziness for a while. Glad to hear you can get it fixed.

Vickie, give an extra hug to you furbaby for me. It's never easy to see our loved ones suffer, even if they are canine!

I'm happy that preschool is over this week (I taught Tues and Thurs) although we only have 5 kids in it this year so it's a lot easier than last year.

I'm nervous; dh has been really worried about his job, and today his boss called a mtg with him. He doesn't know what it's about. I've been praying...

Later ladies,
Angela

i'm home from the doctor's. she didn't use any equipment on me at all. she just tilted my head in different positions. first time through the sequence, i was dizzy. second time all was normal. now i get to be spoiled tonight so i don't tilt my head much. if i have any more dizzy spells, i'm to call and she will do the sequences again niext week. why did i wait 4 months to get this taken care of?

angela, i hope all goes well with dh's job. i'm sorry for your stress. keep thinking positive thoughts.

Sigh.....I've got sort of bad news for October 21st. My Sister picked that day for her birthday party. So that means I won't be available on Saturday except for maybe a very early breakfast. I'm available still anytime on Friday or Sunday.

I have to go make dinner.

My Internist thinks I may have a stress fracture of my ankle. I went for the xray already and should have the results back by Monday.

Oh shoot! Friday won't be good for me at all, since dh has to work, and the kids need to go to school etc. And Sunday we have a children's program at church that I said I'd help with. Saturday was my only free day. How early is this very early breakfast you were talking about?

It's picture day for the kiddos at school tomorrow, so I need to do an extra good bath tonight, and pick out some cute clothes etc.

Thanks for all the congratulations! I made it to onderlanda about a month and a half ago, and just couldn't keep myself in it for long...I'd pop in and out and it was making me nuts! I'm hoping to get as far from it, that even a bad week won't send me over the edge
Today though, wasn't good...I just caved at work and succumbed to pizza and mt.dew. Definitely not as bad as I would have pre-ww by any means, but it still makes you feel icky.
slow and steady does win the race, that's for sure! I was 235 last summer, and I'm very proud of the weight I've lost, even though it could be more...I'm doing this slower than last time where I lost 43lbs in 4 months, and gained it all back PLUS 30! I've come to the realization, I will cheat. I will have bad days amongst my good, and they will not be as frequent as they were in the past, but I won't be perfect every single day. So if that means I lose slower, than so be it I'm very happy with how far I've come, both physically and psychologically.
Thanks for welcoming me into your group, It will take me a few to catch on to topics and start putting my 2cents in but I appreciate the warm welcome!

. My momma said not to put beans in your ears, beans in your ears, beans in your ears..... Okay nuff said - shake that stuff out and let's get rid of the dizziness Sandra! Hope you can rest on the recliner! (with Curtis fetching for you of course ).

Vickie - so maybe you should have LISTENED to everyone when we TOLD you to go get your ANKLE xrayed? Sure hope it's nothing serious! Keep us posted. (What time is your sister's party anyways? Tell her you will arrive 'fashionably late"?)

Jennifer - I too was slipping in and out of onederland - and I am certainly now way out - but trying hard to get back on track! Good for you to keep it slow and steady!

Came home early from work - not much doing here - ate too much (I think I am now eating out of boredom!). Drove dd to dance class - watched tv w/little ds - and hope to get to bed early - and actually FALL ASLEEP tonight (what a change that would be?).

Kathy - how is your mom doing? Any news?

Had my revisit with the pain dr. He asked me if I was walking and thankfully I could say yes. Have to take pain meds before I go or my back is killing me before I get home. Walked for 70 minutes today, to WW meeting and back but I think that was a little too much because my legs were killing me. But the good news was that I am down 3# this week. Was started on Cymbalta by primarc care doc, it is an antidepressant and works on nerve pain. So that when I sleep my leg pain doesn't keep me awake. So have been walking almost everyday which is a big improvement over what I was doing.

Hi All:

Just checking in to say hi. I'm really overworked this week and not paying enough attention to my eating and exercising. It's "funny" how we let the important things slip! And I broke my blender's glass container and haven't replaced it yet...just when I was getting into those smoothies everyone is writing so temptingly about.

One of my dogs has "kennel cough" but we've got her on the antibiotics and are hoping the other one doesn't catch it. She probably picked it up at the kennel when we went out of town.

Other than that all is well here.


Good night,
Rhonda

Frouf, can I borrow some money?

Sandra, I hope you're feeling better by now. Dizziness is miserable.

Vickie and Angela, Saturday is fine with me. I like breakfast as much as any other meal! Maybe it could be a late breakfast/early lunch, then we'll have the rest of the day to do whatever. I still don't know when I'm leaving ... and of course am still waiting to get definite word of graduation before making arrangements.

Vickie, I hope your ankle gets better and you get a good diagnosis on Monday. I don't think there's much to do about a stress fracture, is there? And poor little Cassie! I'm so sorry she's having these problems. I work with a guy who had (has?) Cushings and they removed his pituitary gland. He of course has to take lots of medicine but is mostly fine.

Judd is going camping tomorrow night so we went to the state park after work to look at the campsites. He and his friend Jon are taking the son of our admin. The boy is 10 and doesn't see his dad, so he really enjoys spending time with Judd and Jon. I'll be leaving early Saturday morning to go to Tyler and then will try to get back home at a reasonable hour because we're working all day Sunday.

I'm tired so I'll go ahead to bed. Tomorrow I'm looking at a minimum of 10 hours.

a stress fracture! vickie, no wonder you've been hurting. you're not doing any exercises on your feet, are you?

jennifer, i can relate to your weightloss journey. i used to weigh around 230. the past 2 years (or longer) i was stuck in the 190's. it's just since mid-june that i've been able to break to the 180's and 170's. i had a bad day today, too. i'm dusting right now and will be back on track in the am. one ww leader said, "if you take 2 steps forward and one step back, you will still get there."

frouf, you are a hoot, girl. would you believe curtis may sleep in his recliner tonight, too? he doesn't know if he can sleep alone. beans beans beans beans

vivian, congratulations on losing those 3 lbs. i am glad you're getting through your pain.

rhonda, sounds like you are getting ready to do some dusting, too. you're right. we do let dieting slip when we get busy with other things on our minds. it takes a lot of focus to stay op. i hope your other dog doesn't catch kennel cough.

kathy, which state park are they going to this weekend? we used to like to stay at cleburne state park.

ontarget, that is the best line yet "If you take 2 steps back and 1 step forward, you'll still get there!"

I love it!!!!

I hope everyone has a great day, TGIF!!!
